Don't forget to see the Little Miss Stone Harbor Contest at S.H. Elementary School this Friday at 7:30. If you don't have tickets for the Miss America Contest in Casinoland, this is the next best thing. This is one of the many affairs put on by the Women's Civic Club. The four little girls who have already signed up are: Coleen Tuohy. Maureen Iteiley. Carey Calvin and Sarah Pusey. There will be closer to 10 little Misses in festive long dresses the night of the pageant, so there will be the usual suspense while judges. Mayor Michael Voll of Middle Township. Councilman Dick Light of Avalon. Mayor Michael Mcllale of SIC and County Surrogate Robert Hentges decide on a winner. Innovation for this year will be musical entertainment while we wait for the moment Jack Fitzpatrick announces names of winners and Mayor Arden Hand crowns the new Little Miss Stone Harbor.

Phone her at 368-4369 LAST SUNDAY we visited Mr. and Mrs. James Corcoran in their summer home. They have been coming here with their family for 22 years and had just returned from a flying trip abroad. They stayed at Glenneagles in Scotland (golfers' paradise) for two days. Reason for such a short trip was that daughter, Mary Ellen, is expecting a baby momentarily. Reason they went at all is that^General Accident Insurance Co. in Perth is world headquarters for Philadelphia-based General Accident Ins. Co. of America, of which Corcoran is board chairman and chief executive. The consortium is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. Queen Elizabeth II was due to arrive for dedication ceremonies and following tea at 3:30 p.m. She arrived promptly as always and the flag was raised when she entered the building. It's the signal that the queen is there and was not lowered til she left. ROSEMARY Corcoran, who has met the queen at least once before, admits to being so awed by her unfailing charm and grace that "my knees shook" when meeting her at the Philadelphia Art Museum during observation of that city's Bicentennial year. Occasion for the ceremonies was dedication of the new building which General Accident recently constructed in Perth The queen dedicated a plaque in elaborate ceremonies and then took lea with company officers and their guests - Since this was the last event for the day on her rigorous schedule, she was able to relax a little and she spent almost 10 minutes chatting with Rosemary THE WHOLE party then toured the new facility Corcoran was impressed by Prince Philip's keen / mind and powers of observation He asked "sharp questions and really listens to the answers" was his description He was also amused by the prince eonsort's spirit of independence At one time during the tour Prince Charles took off on his own and made a minute inspection of one operation Fascinated by its intricacies, his head shot up suddenly and he demanded "Where's the queen?" GENTILITY isn't the descriptive word for the , Rowland menage on Fridays. That's deadline day for this reporter and dead line more accurately defines the atmosphere In recent years there has been a tacit agreement "Dine out or dine take-out." Last week after the usual, friendly (we use the term loosely > discussion, we decided to try Johnathan's Harbor. 214 96th St It was unreasonably hot and w e chose shrimp salad, cole slaw and Key Lime V pie While our take-outs p

were being prepped for conveyance, we chatted with owners and operators John W. Atwood. who came here from Germantown, and his wife Merry, originally from Reading, Pa. They also own Sun n' Sand Motel, 284 102nd St.. the first motel built in South Jersey, over 30 years ago, by Stuart Atwood. Stone Harbor's former postmaster. Jonathan is high honcho. natch, but Merry bakes the 40-50 seasonal-fruit pies they now sell weekly and does the bookkeeping. Their 2-year old son, Jonathan Jr.. is the host. Fresh fruit juice is flown in daily from Florida for their pies. We requested St. Augustine's famous Mud Pie and Merry said "Not yet. but I'm thinking about it." STONE HARBOR'S Antique Show was, as has come to be expected, terrific. The July 8th opening-night spirit was not even dampened for the more than 300 enthusiasts who waded through ankle-deep puddles amid scary lightning to get collectors' bargains. We waited 'til Tuesday to go but it was still crowded Enjoyed most the Quilt Quests collection shown by Mary Belle and Harry Harris of Cape May. This is the first year we haven't acquired more Poole People from Frannie and Tom Poole's shop in Lahaska. Neat innovation this year was having James Carpenter, a certified estate approval expert from Margate, there to evaluate people's treasures. For $2 he would give a customer the price of the item and then back this knowledge from books he brought with him ONE GAL was delighted to find her Lennox tea set was worth $1,000 She'd had no idea it was so valuable Most women brought jewels, but lacking those we took a Sept 24. 1814 copy of the General Adver l i se r published in Philadelphia He said it was worth 35-50 bucks depending on the buyer's

interest. This may be something pertinent to our housekeeping skills; we found it in an old bureau. Fascinating though, bulk of advertisements concerned "Runaway Slaves" or indentured servants. Carpenter knew his business and was awfully nice to boot — we have his phone number and will keep it for further reference. WE NEEDN'T have worried, Dr. Bob and Elaine Juni of 84th Street have returned safely from the Middle East. Had we known their itinerary, we'd have been scared out of our socks. We had cocktails with them last Sunday and they showed us and their guests, Mildred and Don Sandt of « Allentown (they're thinking of retiring here too), pictures they took on their drama-filled trip. Bob's photos could be used for the National Geographic. they're that good. They flew first to Spain, then Turkey, and while there learned about the hostage crisis and cancelled plane reservations. They didn't take a guided tour, but made reservations by rail as they went along. ELAINE'S description of the Orient Express line made us drool. They weren't on that train itself but same line, same service and food, even to breakfast in bed. In Bucharest their hotel was cordoned off by police, "trouble at the American Embassy" they were told, then never learned anything further Elaine had to guard the luggage while Bob got a porter and passersby ignored her existence. They're blase about getting through the Iron Cur tain. No problem, they shrug. They spent a fewdays in Italy, a short stay in their beloved Spain and home Our hats are off to them, we wouldn't have taken that trip at that time if we'd had the U.S. Marines with us.
